Field trips planned with an educational objective may be engaged, provided they are safely conducted, adequately supervised, and do not represent an unreasonable financial burden on the school or individual families. Educational trips are considered to be an extension of the classroom learning experience and appropriate follow-up will take place in the classroom. Information about the trip and a permission slip will be sent home for your signature and must be returned to the child’s teacher. Phone permission is never a substitute for written permission.
If a student needs medication it is the teacher and parent’s responsibility to make sure that the medicine is on hand before leaving.
Since field trips are a privilege a student may be denied participation if a student fails to meet academic or behavioral or requirements, and would be required to attend school. All students must also be in financial good standing in order to participate in field trips.
Every student who participates in a field trip is expected to obey all discipline codes as previously stated.
Siblings are not allowed to accompany parent chaperones while on a field trip since parents need to be present to the children assigned to them. Parents wishing to chaperone must have all required security clearances to the school prior to the scheduled trip.
